Fifth vulnerability this month. This is why we now require server clients to OPT OUT of Kernel Care Protection rather than opt in. It's been added to all servers for protection and clients who prefer not to pay the small charge are free to opt out by contacting us.

As Tuxcare say - "Don’t want a fifth emergency reboot window this month? KernelCare applies rebootless Linux kernel patches without downtime or disruptions."

PinTheft chains RDS and io_uring to give local users root access on exposed Linux hosts. Learn who’s affected, how to check exposure, and how to mitigate it.

Saying Goodbye to Levi 💔

We were heartbroken today in the office to hear the news about Levi.

As many of you know, we partner with Husky Networks for our East Antrim Data Centre, and over the years we’ve worked closely with Alan and, of course, Levi. Whether he was sitting proudly in the NOC office or keeping watch in the Systems Admin office, Levi was always part of the team.

I wanted to write a tribute myself, but Alan’s words from the Husky Networks page say it better than I ever could:

“It’s with a very heavy heart that I’m sharing some sad news today. This morning, I had to say goodbye to my best friend and the heartbeat of this company, Levi.

As many of you know, Husky Networks wasn’t just named after the breed, it was named after him. For 16 years, Levi was my constant shadow. If you’ve seen the Husky Networks van on a job site, you’ve seen Levi. He claimed the passenger seat as his own from day one, and he was the best co-pilot I could have ever asked for.

To the customers who brought him treats, the site managers who gave him a pat, and everyone who welcomed him alongside me: thank you. You made his workdays just as bright as he made mine.

The van feels incredibly empty today, and the passenger seat will be hard to look at for a while. But Levi lived a long, full life on the road, and I’m proud that his legacy will live on every time I pull up to a job.

Thanks to all of you for being part of his journey over the last 16 years. It meant a lot to both of us.”

Thinking of Alan and everyone at Husky Networks today. Rest easy, Levi. 🐾

We are actively working through a DNS issue and you can read information here:

A critical vulnerability affecting cPanel & WHM installations worldwide (CVE-2026-41940) was recently disclosed. While we applied all available security patches immediately, a small percentage of our infrastructure was impacted. Affected systems have been actively restored overnight by our team.

We were aware last night of the very critical security issues with cPanel and the moment cPanel applied a patch we have manually updated all servers (rather than waiting for the auto script to run).

All our servers running cPanel are now patched. I am aware some cleints have contacted us for updates hence this post.

You can read about this below.

Congratulations to our Client Larne Football Club. We are proud you trust us to host your website in our local Data Centre.

We’ve had to evacuate our support office - we believe it’s a false alarm but please bear with the team as we have reduced staffing until we are given the all clear to re enter the building.

We are back now and didn’t need to divert to our data centre office. Thanks for your patience.

Enhance Panel plus LiteSpeed = results like this.

We moved a client’s site onto the Big Wet Fish Hosting Stack and the impact was immediate.

⚡ Page load times improved significantly
⚡ A large, media-heavy site now loads instantly
⚡ Seamless performance across images, video and interactive content

When you combine the right software stack with powerful infrastructure, the difference is not subtle.

We are running on high performance AMD EPYC processors with ultra-fast NVMe storage, built specifically for speed and reliability. And of course it's all hosted locally in our Northern Ireland Data Centre.

If you are hosting elsewhere and curious what this could do for your sites, I am happy to chat. We offer an extended, no obligation free trial so you can take it for a proper spin.

We’ve partnered with some of the top names in the industry to deliver secure, high-performance WordPress hosting, keeping your websites safe on our hosting stack.

As part of this, we’re proud to be working closely with Patchstack. (pictured here with our MD).

Their vulnerability patching is now included as standard for all clients on our WordPress hosting plans, adding an extra layer of protection where it matters most. We're currently rolling out adding this to all WP plans on our network and will complete next week.

For those on other hosting plans, Patchstack is also available as an optional add-on for a small additional cost.

We had a really productive meeting with the Patchstack team yesterday at Cloudfest, and we are genuinely excited about where this partnership is heading.

A big thank you Alex Sandham Sander Jürgens Oliver Sild for their support in making this happen.
